Topic: Untangling the mysteries of the Pittsburgh road network
Guest: Vince Guerrieri
How Topic Discussed: Vince Guerrieri has published an article for Citylab about the Allegheny County belt route system. Who devised this scheme, and why? How does it benefit motorists? How is the belt route plan tied to the history of early 20th century transportation? Why is the plan more or less unique to the Pittsburgh area? What does it tell us about the Pittsburgh region at mid-century?
